The Shape

The Shape

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

of our future

"
hard work makes us thin
it helps to stay in shape
avoiding a flabby skin
being obese we can escape
 
healthy babies need the fat
essential to help them grow
protein for muscle strength
in the diet of those who know
 
the food we eat will shape us
like a pear or a solid oak
keep this in mind as you eat
your health is not some joke
 
for those who didn't know this
and ate only what there was
it would be a shame now to miss
controlling what one does
 
information is everywhere
good diets are even a fad
if we eat more carefully
we can forget food that's bad
 
talk to someone who looks good
it is a good way to begin
compliment them on how they look
ask how they managed to stay thin
 
if they have any interest in you
they might have something to share
when they relate what they like to do
you found a friend who can care
 
everyone follows good models
the kinds of people they admire
among them they will also find
those who will live to retire
